Pros

I initially worked at Personio as a contractor, but after 3 months decided to take a permanent role. This was largely due to my observations on our team culture. I’ve worked in scale ups for 10+ years and in environments where ego abounds. It’s really refreshing to work somewhere where your craft is respected, people assume good intent and are just generally nice. I personally love to build and create and have autonomy on my projects and what I do. That’s why scale ups work for me and Personio is growing really healthily and a really exciting scale up to be part of. Personio also understood my personal reasons for wanting to work part-time and accommodated this.

Cons

Typical scale up challenges. Shifting priorities and a lot to do! There are a lot of people at the company who haven’t worked anywhere else and it’s their first scale up environment, so reading some of the more recently reviews I get a sense some of the more longer term employees are struggling with the pace of change. ‘It’s not how it used to be’ etc etc. But that’s a natural part of any company growing up and we’re in it for the long-term so that’s necessary.
